Estos son los platos que preparo para mi familia, los que comemos en casa, los que pensé para el confinamiento y sigo cocinando después. No es que desconfíe de los trabajos profesionales --al contrario, siento admiración--, pero restan verdad al servicio de una belleza irreal, y frustran al cocinilla, que todos llevamos dentro, que jamás logra reproducir esa alta expresión. Estilismos, retoques, añadidos, mixtificaciones, platos que no son comestibles, al contrario de lo que sucede aquí después de la foto, el ataque con cuchillo. Me lo como. Nos lo comemos. Porque esa acción forma parte de lo cotidiano. Cocino, fotografío, como. Solo así es posible este libro, con esa curiosa artesanía mediante el notario smartphone. Las mías son recetas sencillas de ejecutar, pero ocurrentes, vistosas y que dan un resultado apetecible. Quien lo probó, lo sabe.

ENGLISH DESCRITION

National Gastronomy Prize winner Pau Arenós shares his most-striking home recipes, those that will make us look like amazing chefs in front of family and friends.

These are the very same dishes I prepare for my family, the ones we eat at home, the ones I devised during our confinement and still cook. It is not that I don't trust professionals--on the contrary, I admire them--but they diminish the truth being at the service of an unreal beauty, frustrating the cook we all have inside, who could never reproduce such high expressions. Styling, touch-ups, add-ups, deceptions, inedible dishes--exactly the opposite of what you will find here: after taking a photograph, I come at it with a knife. I eat it. We eat it. For that act is part of our daily lives. I cook, I take the picture, I eat. This book is only possible that way, with a curious craftwork through the notary smartphone. My recipes are easy to make, yet witty, eye-catching, and make up a very palatable result. Those who have tasted them, know.
